The Last Judgment; The Virgin and Child with a Bishop-Saint and Saint Peter Martyr; The Crucifixion; The Glorification of Saint Thomas Aquinas; The Nativity

Master of the Dominican Effigies·1350

Historical Context

The Crucifixion was among the most theologically central and emotionally charged subjects in Christian art, intended to move viewers to compassionate meditation on Christ's sacrifice. Egg tempera on panel was the dominant technique of the period, demanding careful layer-by-layer construction and patient craftsmanship. It is now held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, with one of the finest collections of European painting outside Europe.
